The Volvo V40 is the compact hatchback that’s perfectly suited for life in the city. With agile handling, interior versatility and smart technology to make your life easier, the V40 is the perfect companion

The new V40’s unique T-shaped LED lights create a wider, athletic stance. They emphasise the car’s width, bringing the V40 in line with the latest generation of Volvo Cars.

City Weave upholstery continues the urban Scandinavian look of the V40. The frameless rear-view mirror and optional panoramic glass roof create a spacious sanctuary, connecting you with the outside – even while you’re inside

This is a vital car for the brand. It’s intended to be a step up for Golf buyers, for those who don’t want the flash of an Audi A3 or BMW 1-Series. On looks alone, it’s there: this is a rather foxy-looking Volvo, and even the bonnet has been kept low and sporty thanks to the trick addition of a pedestrian airbag. Underneath, there’s a Volvo-ised version of the fine Ford Focus platform, plus …

Aston Martin has been brave enough to tell the venerable Vanquish that it’s living at the far end of an overdraft of borrowed time. This is a car that sits on an architecture that already has been replaced and which is still powered by the gloriously anachronistic naturally aspirated V-12 that Aston has been using for nearly two decades.
But while the new, turbocharged DB11 is an empirically better car by almost any metric you choose to employ, it can’t match the exclusivity of Aston’s range-topper. Buyers who opt for the Vanquish will have to find an extra $80,000 to get a car with less equipment and less power than its supposedly junior sister DB11, which costs “only” $214,820. But they will find themselves at the pinnacle of Mount Aston. It’s impossible not to see the continued appeal of this grandest of grand tourers, a car that makes a Bentley Continental GT look like something bought at Sears. Now, the Vanquish has been given a final freshening and the deployment of the S badge…

It’s here in the form of a highly technical and utterly thrilling supercar. With weight-saving construction, a hybrid power train that has three electric motors and a mid-mounted twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 making a combined output of 573 hp, the NSX offers pulse-pounding performance paired with everyday usability. A nine-speed dual-clutch automatic and all-wheel drive are standard

FROM ITS ULTRA-RIGID SPACE FRAME to dynamically agile Sport Hybrid Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™, the chassis is the super skeleton that supports all NSX systems.

In the world of automotive car colors, the chicken and the egg arrive simultaneously. In other words, vehicle colors that consumers demand heavily influence which colors the manufacturers create. So why do we demand the colors we do?

There are people in the car color business who spend a great deal of time trying to predict this phenomenon and they have many theories. One such person is Robert S. Daily, color-marketing manager of DuPont Automotive, a major paint supplier to the automotive industry. For example, he believes it's our affinity for technology that lures us to silver. He writes, "Silver and gray reflect our fascination with technology, such as seen in the brushed chrome cues on laptop computer covers and other electronic devices. Secondly, silver and techno-gray seem to accentuate the angular, 'new-edge design' of the latest luxury sport vehicles." Others believe that silver relates to "feelings of superiority" and "great mental powers…
